Avast! scan located a Rootkit.  It was obviously also labeled as malware.  But it appears to be the dashboard monitor for my printer.  I'm wondering if it is an actual problem, or if something else is using it so it has become a problem, or if it was a false positive.  The actual program is  EKPrinterSDK.exe

My printer is a bit dated (2012?).  It's a Kodak ESP C310 AiO. 

Thank you for any assistance!

Thank you.  I will do that.  I am currently doing a boot time-scan on that computer and there is a lot of data on it.  So, it will be a while.
